About CHRISTMAS

Meet Christmas, a sweet senior with a playful spark! This 9-year-old neutered pit bull mix proves that age is just a number. Still spry and full of curiosity, he has a gentle, easygoing nature paired with just enough pep in his step to keep things fun. He is likely housebroken, as he took care of his business right away when taken out from his kennel. In the play yard, Christmas enjoys taking his time to sniff, explore, and soak in his surroundings. He’s very treat-motivated, knows sit, walks well on leash, and takes treats gently like a pro. He also enjoys some good scratches and happily soaks up calm attention from his people. Christmas seems social at the fence line and showed interest in other dogs, suggesting he may enjoy canine companionship with proper introductions. He’s also discovered a true love for plush toys. Once one is tossed his way, he enjoys playing with it on his own, showing a playful side that really shines through. Overall, Christmas is a sweet, treat-loving, toy-enjoying gentleman who still has plenty of energy and joy left to share. He would make a fun and affectionate companion for someone looking for a mellow but playful buddy.

Christmas is currently in foster care, and his foster mom has this to say: "If you’re looking for the perfect mix of playful and cuddly, Christmas is your guy. He starts his mornings with a happy burst of energy and then is perfectly content spending the rest of the day curled up beside you for naps and cuddles. Christmas has incredible manners — he walks beautifully on a leash, takes treats so gently, never jumps on people or counters, and is fully potty trained. He can also be trusted home alone for an hour or two without any issues. He absolutely loves stuffed toys, especially his beloved purple dinosaur, and one of his sweetest habits is staring deeply into your eyes like you’re the most important person in the world. He gives the best kisses and has such a loving, calm personality. Christmas is wonderful with everyone he meets — children, adults, and other dogs alike. He’s the kind of dog who settles into your heart almost immediately and makes your home feel warmer just by being in it."
